VISUALS
Using his previous experience as a photographic artist, Steve has developed a personal style in his visual work by combining various digital techniques and software with traditional hand drawn methods. He offers digital illustrations and renderings as a service to other Landscape and Garden Designers as well as to architects and other design professionals.
I strongly believe in using visuals to sell ideas at any scale. I will always try to innovate in my own design work and to be able to show a client what’s in my head effectively is essential, especially if it is something a little out of the ordinary. Having spent years building real life gardens, which can be a slow and sometimes challenging process, I always get a kick out of seeing a design come to life in such a relatively small amount of time.
Digital rendering software can often have a one size fits all approach which can feel cold and uninspiring. I try to keep an illustrative quality in my visuals, which have a personal feel and play on the viewer’s imagination and sense of intrigue.
I enjoy working with other designers to interpret their visions and to help them sell their ideas and bring their creations to life in domestic settings and in wider commercial or public schemes. Having had two designs nominated for SGD awards and also having been involved in several show gardens, I understand the power a strong visual can have in making your design stand out from the crowd. It is also a fantastic marketing tool to enable potential sponsors to connect with your vision.
